‘How do you feel about flu shots?’

“I think there’s a lot of misinformation out there. I’m not sure there’s going to be enough swine flu vaccine. People should check to see if they need it – not everybody does.”

Therese Langevin-Frech

“I don’t do the flu shot. The last two times I got the shot I got really sick.”

Kimberly Smith

Seaside

“I don’t like them. That’s just my opinion. I don’t believe in them.”

Lynda Owens

“I think they are necessary for the very young, the elderly and infirm. The people in the middle need to make their own best decision for themselves.”

Denise Allen

Svensen

“I’d never had one. Got my first one last week. Flus are getting worse, and I’m getting older. Plus, I do a lot of volunteer work, so I’m exposed more often.”
